The Meaco 50Lm-v2 Dehumidifier uses the new R290 refrigerant gas to
comply with European Environmental Directives. R290 is kinder to the
environment and is part of attempts to reduce global warming as it has a low
greenhouse effect (GWP).
When using the Meaco 50Lm-v2 Dehumidifier you must take into account the following:
●
This dehumidifier uses about 230 grams of R290 refrigerant which is flammable, therefore it is
part of a sealed system and must only be serviced by a trained Meaco engineer.
●
Do not use or store this dehumidifier in a room smaller than 12m² to prevent a fire or explosion
hazard if there is a leak of refrigerant and the gas comes into contact with an ignition source.
●
Do not use in a room with any continuous sources of ignition, for example open flames, gas
fires or hobs, cigarettes or any other sources of ignition.
●
Do not sure means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by a trained Meaco engineer.
●
If the dehumidifier is installed, operated or stored in a non-ventilated area, then the room must
be designed to prevent the accumulation of refrigerant leaks resulting in a risk of fire or
explosion due to ignition of the refrigerant caused by an operating electric heaters, operating
gas appliances or other sources of ignition.
●
R290 refrigerant gas is odourless.
●
Do not puncture or burn either during the units working life or after. At the end of life dispose
of following local recycling regulations.
●
If there is any damage to the unit then do not use it and contact Meaco or your retailer.
●
As with all dehumidifiers, always keep upright and leave the dehumidifier standing upright for
24 hours before using it upon receipt.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in fire, damage to property, serious
injury or potentially death.
Individuals who operate or work on the refrigerant circuit must have the appropriate certification issued
by a national accredited organisation that ensures competence in handling flammable refrigerants
according to a specific evaluation recognised by national associations in the industry and compliant
with the latest R290 guidance.
Servicing should only be carried out by a Meaco approved engineer using original Meaco parts to
prevent damage to the unit and potential injury to the engineer.
